The following SIX categories represent the "Dirty Dozen Ingredients to Avoid" that are extremely prevalent in almost all cosmetics on the marketplace today …

Talc: is a finely powdered mineral used in some cosmetic products to absorb moisture. In many cosmetics, talc is listed at the #1 or #2 ingredient.

Talc is filler and is drying, and builds up in fine lines, accentuating their appearance. Other common fillers used in many cosmetic lines are rice powder and flour. Talc is also recognized as a potential carcinogen, especially lung & ovarian cancer.

Mineral Oil and Waxes: disrupt the skin's ability to breathe. Mineral oil is a derivative of crude oil (petroleum) that is used industrially as a cutting fluid and lubricating oil. Mineral oil forms an oily film over the skin to lock in moisture, but it also traps in toxins and wastes, and hinders normal skin respiration by keeping oxygen out. (NOTE: Liquidum Paraffinum is an exotic sounding way to say mineral oil … Paraffin wax or oil is mineral oil wax.).

Collagen: Collagen is becoming very popular to add to cosmetics as a "sales gimmick". It is an insoluble fibrous protein that is too large to penetrate the skin. The collagen found in most skin care or cosmetic products is derived from animal skins and ground up chicken feet. This ingredient forms a layer of film that may suffocate the skin or reduce its ability to breathe. [Instead of collagen, our product has included Vital Repair+ to their skin care and cosmetic products … nutrients that feed the skin so that it can build it’s own collagen. Soy protein taken daily is also recommended to provide the protein amino acids to build collagen and healthy skin.]

Toxic Preservatives: Formaldehyde and BHT are common toxic preservatives.

BHT (butylated hydroxtoluene) is a preservative commonly added to cosmetics and food to preserve oils. It can cause cancer, tumors and neurotoxicity that alters behavior. Formaldehyde is a toxic colorless gas that is an irritant and a carcinogen. When combined with water, formaldehyde is used as a disinfectant, fixative or preservative. Fragrances: Fragrance on a label can indicate the presence of up to four thousand separate ingredients, many toxic or carcinogenic. Symptoms reported on many include headaches, dizziness, allergic rashes, skin discoloration and irritation. Clinical observation proves fragrances can affect the central nervous system, causing depression, hyperactivity, irritability and neurotoxicity (brain & central nervous system cell toxicity). They can also aggravate asthma and allergies.

Other Undesirable Ingredients: There are several undesirable ingredients that can be found in cosmetics. Here are a few...

Isopropyl Palmitate: is comedogenic and can cause whiteheads and blackheads. It interferes with the ability of the skin to breathe. Mercury: is used as a preservative or anti-microbial agent particularly in eye products such as mascara. The FDA allows it provided it is in a concentration below 60 ppm. No consideration is given to the affects of the accumulative affect of this TOXIC heavy metal in the system.
Lead : is a toxic heavy metal (especially found in products from Europe)
